IN pS... Start with a new document set to 150 dpi or higher.
Use a large, hard edge brush. Click once to create the circle.
To finish up the crescent, Select a smaller size Eraser brush , position the brush area size within the circle along lower right edge and delete. Carefully use the eraser to get the shapes of the crescent points to your liking.
With a much smaller size paint brush create the second dot and use small size eraser to create hilte dot.
Do the two elements on separate layers in case you'd need to warp/transform the shapes into ellipses or get a look you want.
This depends on your usage. As Paul pointed out, Illustrator is the best bet in creating crisp, scalable vector objects.

Sorry, a bit late on this one.
As Paul and dv8 stated, illustrator is best for this type of graphics.
As always, there are many ways to accomplish things and here is another option.
You can start with a white background, I left mine transparent.
If you added a background layer, create a new layer here.
In Photoshop, you can use the Ellipse Tool (Shape tools).
Set you fill color to black and turn off the stroke option.
Here's the trick, when you create an ellipse, hold and maintain your mouse click while dragging, also hold down your shift key to make a perfect circle! While holding the mouse click and the shift key, hold down the space bar to position the circle! When your have it positioned where you like it release the mouse click first!
Next. On this same layer, change the Path Operations to "subtract front shape".
Create a new circle where you want to subtract from the black circle shape you just created!
I colored a white circle in the image below ONLY to demonstrate the position!
When you release you mouse click you should have this.....
On a new layer, repeat the steps above to create the smaller circles.
